KUDS25SHWH1 Kitchenaid Dishwasher Control Panel Only CANCEL light on

If I start the diswasher, only the CANCEL light stays on, no other lights on the panel. Possible FUSE-Link ? Or the whole control panel ? I assume if the FUSE-link then no control panel lights would show.....

I have the same problem. Cancel light stays on. I can stop that and press some other buttoms, but then they stay on. Do I need a new control touchpad? It appears that you have to purchase the whole upper part of the door panel? Thanks for your help.I have the same problem. Cancel light stays on.

I bought a control board for $127.00 figuring that was the problem but it wasn't. I called an appliance guy who came out and said its the touchpad that needs to be replaced. I ordered the touchpad ($325) since I already have to much invested in this dishwasher. I paid $1200 for it 8 years ago and its really a great dishwasher. My appliance confirmed that if it was the fuse-ling that you would not have any lights on.

I replaced the touch-pad ($325) and that fixed it. It was not the control panel but I have a spare one in case I get some kind of electrical spike. My appliance guy replaced it within 5 minutes and only charged me $25.

Getting it out of child lock can be difficult but make sure you watch the light on the front panel it will go right back to lock if your not careful.I had to try several times at first I thought it would need a doctor.. but with patience it should work and unlock with the 4 second hold.. power down does not reset unless you wait 30 minutes or longer.. hope this helps

Ok, Turn breaker off at breaker panel. Just off then on. The rinse only light should be on.....not flashing. Now press the start button first and hold; then press the cancel button. That should cancel all lights. Then press wash button then start. If the light is still flashing after you turn off breaker....you might have a bigger problem. May need new control panel.

about the only thing to try would be to remove the inner door panel to get to the control bd then you will see a mylar ribbon looks like a fat piece of scotch tape pull up on the plastic connector that holds it in and pull the ribbon out then get a clean pencil eraser and gently clean the ribbon and put it back in dont forget to push the locking tab back down then try it again and let me know
